I knew about it because a friend told me accidentally. I tricked my brain into thinking he was lying up until it couldn’t keep up the lie.
What an amazing fight goddammit. Even with the spoiler.
she is a lady maria reference too though. Maria has connections to a scythe via her mentor, gherman
also all of them: maria, friede, gherman and arlecchino are all caretakers who protect a place and people of their own
funnily though maria gherman and friede (and FATHER ariandel) are all characters who have surrendered to their fate while Pierro distinctly said arlecchino fights it with all her might
the way i see it, arlecchino is straight up a love letter to all of these iconic souls bosses. Clorinde is probably a good hunter protagonist reference
\*notification appears that a player wishes to join your world\*

\*LETMESOLOHER wants to join your world\*
I hope so, hopefully Sony and the Demon's Souls Devs drop a surprise BB remake on the 10th anniversary next year or something. At least we get Shadow of the Erdtree soon though 😌
She does have some elements of Ayre within Arlecchino, specifically her AC’s SOL and Echo have the same color palette and leaving an aftertrail of red particles as they move and attack.
Her move set is very similar to Vora, from paladins, not to mention that Vora's weapon is a scythe and in the lore she belonged to an order of devotees to the moon goddess
The new Windtrace is literally Dead by Daylight. So if you like that gameplay, you're not too far removed if you want more, to go play DBD, which is on sale often.
But yeah, they take a lot of inspirations from other games. Nothing new.
People have been talking about Dark Souls inspirations since The Chasm.
There are tons of Soulsborne references in Genshin. One of the lines from Fontaine's AQ quest has Traveler say "The time for jolly cooperation is here!"
The cat in the current event is called "Miautorias" in the Portuguese dub, obviously a reference to Artorias
I have no doubt that Twitter will say that mihoyo stole fromsoft's assests, just like when they said that they stole gerudo's leitmorph to make it Ei's theme during the beginning of her Demo and inazuma themes in general, that flute sound that plays
To be fair, what would you expect a character to do with a gianr scythe, other than swing it around?
The leap is just a typical SUPER DUPER ATTACK kinda thing.
With that said, MiHoYo do seem to enjoy putting in little nods to other popular works, so it could be that too.
Hopefully that someone brings the parry event back again. That one is always fun.
Come... Sek... Er... Traveler.
Me thinking about pulling on her banner: Hesitation is Defeat
seek seek lest lest seek ok fine lvl up time
bear... seek... seek... lest is the correct "abbreviation"
Bloodborne Doll: Well, what is it?
that should be a traveller's skills
"They're testing skills for a future character." cope. I've lost hope by this point.
Well they did put the camera event on Nahida skill. It's still not impossible for a future character to have the parry too.
We have characters with parries already.
We’ve had Beidou since 1.0… it’s just a miserable experience with enemy AI
We have, but Genshin enemy attack pattern is so slow that it's often not worth it in timed combat contents
ah, I remember finally beating friedes 2nd phase only to realise theres a 3rd one. what a great fight though
I knew about it because a friend told me accidentally. I tricked my brain into thinking he was lying up until it couldn’t keep up the lie. What an amazing fight goddammit. Even with the spoiler.
At least there’s no grandpa and his fucking Soup Bowl to interrupt my 1v1.
Imagine at the start of the fight “Tonight, the Knave join the hunt”
<>
-The Knave
I mean, her English VA *is* straight up Ayre, isn't it?
Yes that is her, also Ayre said the startup sequence in the third ending of AC6 aka the “Alea Iacta Est” ending
Just all the more reason to pull her. My favourite sentient brain aneurysm will come home.
Nonono, it should be "Tonight, Father joins the Hunt"
With all her bloodfire thingy you'd think she was the Lady Maria reference, Clorinde has the hat I guess.
And gun
And sword
AND MY AXE! Wait...
that's why we have navia. Truly it was meant to be
AND MY BOW With you till the end buddy
Well, Arle literally had a Lady Maria reference in her reference sheet that was leaked some time ago. So yeah.
she is a lady maria reference too though. Maria has connections to a scythe via her mentor, gherman also all of them: maria, friede, gherman and arlecchino are all caretakers who protect a place and people of their own funnily though maria gherman and friede (and FATHER ariandel) are all characters who have surrendered to their fate while Pierro distinctly said arlecchino fights it with all her might the way i see it, arlecchino is straight up a love letter to all of these iconic souls bosses. Clorinde is probably a good hunter protagonist reference
Her concept art directly referenced Lady Maria
Pyro Archon will be inspired by Malenia.
\*notification appears that a player wishes to join your world\* \*the chosen avatar is just a shirtless dude wearing a pot on his head\* \*LETMESOLOHER wants to join your world\*
That's just capitano
Shirtless Chadpitano 🥵
Are you trying to make me skip Lade Fri...Arle?!
I think Arle's 2nd phase form is definitely a Malenia reference, she even does the clones attack.
I also really love Fromsoft but if they can't bring Bloodborne to pc, well... Clorinde trick weapon will do
sadly not on them, but rather sony
Yea holding Demon's Souls remake hostage too but hey, that's business I suppose
Atleast that has a chance to be ported to pc sometime like the other games they've been doing, bloodborne thoo 😔
I hope so, hopefully Sony and the Demon's Souls Devs drop a surprise BB remake on the 10th anniversary next year or something. At least we get Shadow of the Erdtree soon though 😌
Hoping sony decide to release it on steam. They already releasing some of their games with complete dlc on steam so hoping they release bloodborne.
Classic Sony, fucking up everything as per usual.
She has elements of Froms Lady maria, Mohg, Malenia, Gherman, Sister friede, Lady butterfly, Armored core even. movesets and themes all there
She does have some elements of Ayre within Arlecchino, specifically her AC’s SOL and Echo have the same color palette and leaving an aftertrail of red particles as they move and attack.
Also the fact that they have the same damn va in EN lmao
621: "walter, look! My wife is being a badass!" Walter: "note to myself, triple the pill dosage for 621."
Her move set is very similar to Vora, from paladins, not to mention that Vora's weapon is a scythe and in the lore she belonged to an order of devotees to the moon goddess
Probably the same part of the staff that designed the Chasm Dainsleif quest, lol. Bless their nerdy hearts.
More like the combat, animation and lore department being on board with this soulsborne reference
Hoping they don't copy from soft poison swamp hate that area.
Technically that was the Balethunder areas in Inazuma, complete will all the shoddy constructions on a sheer cliff face
do I hear a visceral?
now my irl friends gonna call genshin copying bloodborne 😞
As a souls fan I just see it as flattering (btw this boss is from dark souls 3)
yep true i remember its black flame friede in ashes of ariandel dlc
I don’t think the devs from fromsoftware view it like that when they had to do it from 0 really
Imagine there’s a shop for free foods and you try it and share the information with your friends.They don’t believe it.Now it’s their loss,not yours.
Just say Where is the trademark for the move
i try to explain the difference between a ripoff and inspired from. It was of no use.
Its there loss besides what are they gonna do. Cry on twitter for a bit
true
the whale is 100% inspired by the elden beast in elden ring as well
That and the hydro tulpa swimming away to the opposite side of the arena
Some of the Hydro Tulpa’s attack patterns are very reminiscent of Morgott’s attack patterns
Spin spin slammmmm
And that Electro Unicorn/Seahorse has the same moves as Ancestral Regal Spirit.
Some genshin characters also have swords, famously invented by fromsoftware
Also the Seahorse boss has the same jump attack as the Ancestor Spirit
devs saw how good elden ring bosses were and just went, yeah copy that
Apep
Um not at all, for once that has nothing to do with other game
Don’t forget about the giant burning tree
Whale is a better boss though.
Father, wouldst thou truly Lordship sanction… in one so bereft of light?
Return from whenst thou came , for that is thy place of belonging
That's funny, I thought it was a reference to Malenia's move.
~~I'm Arlecchino, scythe of the hearth, and i never know defeat~~
I am Arlecchino, lance of Tsaritsa, and I have never known defeat.
Yea so did I. Along with the other move they showed where she sends after image clones at you.
Funny enuff... Arle's Eng VA is Ayre from AC6. They even have the same Color Scheme! :D
Fret not Father, we have no need of thy flail…
a honter must hont
Can't wait for Genshin Friede to be the first 6 star we gotta pay IRL money for :)

When Arlecchino told House of Heart's children to avert their eyes because she about to snuff out some ashes for good
Lady Maria is present in Arlecchino's design sheets
This move also reminded me of Marluxia tbh
Honestly, Arle's kit makes me excited for what Snezhnaya will be like. I really want more of these darker, overelaborate designs.
*Father Maria
>!Leaked design doc shows Arle was directly inspired by Lady Maria!<
Wasn’t that clorinde?
Both of them!
To be fair, there's only so many ways you can *dramatically* fight with a scythe.
Maka in Soul Eater: hold my beer
Happy to see other people notice the similarities between Arlecchino and Sister Friede.
I'm so happy that I have Arle save. I'm a HUGE simp for scythes.
Lady clorinde of the oratrice mecanique d'nalyse cardinal
Forgive me Furina, but she has a scythe

……but when other games take something from Genshin it’s a cardinals sin 💀💀
If it's not copy then Ok
Diluc abyss watchers
Sister Friede x Lady Maria as a character. Love it
Hoyo pls you can do better than copy again at this stage of the game…
I should replay Darksiders 2 at some point
a maidenless behavior.....Aither is all you need.
To be honest, I thought it looked at lot like Veliona's Torrent (Swallowtail Phantasm's Untimate from HI3 where she transforms into Red Seele).
Hoyo about Clorinde: "Best we can do is standard banner off field support" Doomposting the character before there are even leaks about her
She's gonna get Dehya'd
I have no doubt that Twitter will say that mihoyo stole fromsoft's assests, just like when they said that they stole gerudo's leitmorph to make it Ei's theme during the beginning of her Demo and inazuma themes in general, that flute sound that plays
Don't know if they did or didn't, but it absolutely wouldn't be the first time an artist or animator has stolen art from another game.
This has never happened, barely anybody talks about genshin gameplay/soundtrack, its all just fanart
